A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Super series again Richard. Thanks for sharing.
Magnificent specimen.
Wow they are everywhere! I didn't know about the tea. Interesting.
Nice photos Machi. Head and snout looks like moose !!
I agree. Very similar to common blackbird egg so maybe a Turdus sp. is likely.
Thanks for doing that.
If you have a suggestion not to species level it's best to put into a comment.
I agree with the Doc.
Hoot hoot !!
Well done :-). Even Siphanta genus might be in doubt. I just searched and found several other genus which look similar too. It seems there are very many similar genus and species worldwide and much work needs to be done to describe them all. Here's a 'Euphanta sp.' from our part of the world with a similar prominent cephalo-thorax
